ICANN finally speaks
After quite a delay, the company charged with managing the DNS system, spoke about Verisign's hijacking of all unused domain names. In a quite interesting move, ICANN politely asked Verisign to voluntarily suspend its "project" until an "objective expert report" is created.
Who would this "objective expert" be? Kent Crispin, perhaps? We shall soon see. Meantime, the ICANN release exists here
